   You know, the the literature on posttraumatic stress disorder reveals quite quite clearly that people typically develop post-traumatic stress disorder because they encounter some form of malevolence. And if it if it's ever happened to you, you know that it's no joke. It's not some figment of your imagination. Quite the contrary. So, and then that entire world that's sort of the world that can be comprehended is nested inside a broader symbolic network. And that seems to be the symbolic network that's made up of the dragon of chaos, which is something like our representation of the set of unkno…

   But in the former criterion, the deep way that the mathematics of string theory locks together with coherence and and elegance and beauty and it all works as a mathematical structure is breathtaking. So it's just so irresponsible when people say these things like string theory has failed. You know, I think we live in a culture where like we have this competitive mindset. Maybe it goes back to hunter gatherer days when you had to make sure you got enough food and maybe you had to make sure that your neighbor didn't. Although I think the anthropologists have archaeologists evidence that hunter g…

   Many of my professionally trained _confrères_ will smile at the irrationalism of this view, and at the artlessness of my essays in point of technical form. But they should be taken as illustrations of the radically empiricist attitude rather than as argumentations for its validity. That admits meanwhile of {x} being argued in as technical a shape as any one can desire, and possibly I may be spared to do later a share of that work. Meanwhile these essays seem to light up with a certain dramatic reality the attitude itself, and make it visible alongside of the higher and lower dogmatisms between…

   How do we know that this isn't just pure mathematics? And that would take us into a wonderful conversation along the lines of the material that we just discussed. So yeah, I think he would warm to these ideas pretty quickly. Do you think we're sort of in the realm of philosophy here? One of the criticisms that I see of string theory as somebody who doesn't understand the first thing about it is that because of this lack of experimental data, you can say that in principle it could be tested. But there are all kinds of philosophical theories that in principle we could test. Ideas about personal …

   > that said quantum gravity, there is no quest, but quantum gravity and string theory M theory is the only game in town to make it sound like the creed of Islam, right? Anyone found trying to say that only string theory M theory can and should be researched at the most fundamental level. And the quantum gravity is the holy grail when there's no trace of this phrase before 1973, 72 is committing a grave ethical sin at a professional level. Now, something I never talked about before to

   I have kept close to the point of view of natural science throughout the book. Every natural science assumes certain data uncritically, and declines to challenge the elements between which its own 'laws' obtain, and from which its own deductions are carried on. Psychology, the science of finite individual minds, assumes as its data (1) _thoughts and feelings_, and (2) _a physical world_ in time and space with which they coexist and which (3) _they know_. Of course these data themselves are discussable; but the discussion of them (as of other elements) is called metaphysics and falls outside th…

   What would it take for me to give up on string theory? I wish I could sit here and say in 5 years, there's going to be an experiment at such and such a collider or in 10 years, there's going to be an observation by such and such space station or space observatory. And if it doesn't come out in a particular way, I'll give up on string theory. I can't say that. Nobody can. And the reason is, I think as many of you know string theory has not yet developed to a point where we can make the kinds of definitive observational or experimental predictions that certainly we hoped we'd be able to do when …

   No in fact probably a 100 top physicists today want to start from the whole and derive the parts because they have understood that trying to go the other way gives you know leaves you empty-handed. Yeah. In fact, you know, string theory which tried to explain reality from the parts which are strings that vibrates [snorts] did not succeed. And you know, it took about 80 years of hard work. At one point 90% of the, you know, the physicist, the theoretical physicist were working on string theory. >> They didn't get anywhere. So that's that's telling you that no, we have to start with the wh…

   There seem to be parts in the text where it can appear as somatic rather than a logical contradiction, such as pain or suffering. Um So yeah, I'll move on to some thoughts I have on meditation of metaphysics because I see it as an attempt to salvage the speculative moment uh from Hegel, a postulate of depth that is an idealist idealistic uh in its character and where he also attempts to translate or transform the absolute, the transcendent or the metaphysical to non-identity. Um so it seems like Adorno is offering in this section a kind of historical account or genealogy or constellation of ou…

    And I can't play my trick anymore because you can't divide the electron. But that too is a vast misunderstanding of physics for the past eight years at least, if not the hundred, we have known that there are no particles in the same sense that there is no ripple separate from the lake that ripples. You cannot fish a ripple out of the lake. Yeah, there's nothing to the ripple but the lake in the same exactly the same sense. There is nothing to a particle but to the underlying quantum field. Yeah. And being excited. - But do they then play sort of a dualist game. Also, you think in panpsychism t…
